Exploring the major political and intellectual currents from the Black Power era to the present, Cedric Johnson reveals how black political life conformed to liberal democratic capitalism and how the movement's most radical aims were eclipsed by more moderate aspirations. Documenting the historical retreat from democratic struggle,
Revolutionaries to Race Leaders ultimately calls for the renewal of popular resistance and class-conscious politics.

Confronting the fundamentalism that afflicts both Islam and the United States through traditions of dissent
A CALL FOR HERESY: Why Dissent Is Vital to Islam and America
Anouar Majid
University of Minnesota Press | 296 pages | 2007
ISBN 978-0-8166-5127- 6 | hardcover | $24.95
A Call for Heresy discovers unexpected common ground in the deepening conflict between the Islamic world and the United States. Anouar Majid argues that the Islamic world and the United States are both in precipitous states of decline because, in each, religious, political, and economic orthodoxies have silenced the voices of their most creative thinkers. The solution, Majid argues, is a long-overdue
revival of dissent.
